چکیده

معضل اصلی در بهره‌برداری پایدار از منابع طبیعی، درک موقعیت و ارتباطات پیچیده دست‌اندکاران متعدد دخیل در اجرای طرح‌هاست. در این راستا تحلیل شبکه‌های اجتماعی از جمله رویکردهای جامعه شناختی جهت بررسی هر گونه رابطه اجتماعی و سازمانی عنوان شده است. در پژوهش حاضر شبکه اجتماعی پیوندهای تبادل اطلاعات و مشارکت سازمان‌های دخیل در مدیریت منابع طبیعی شهرستان بهبهان مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. به این منظور پرسش‌نامه‌ها بین سازمان‌ها توزیع و بر اساس وجود یا عدم وجود ارتباط در مقیاس لیکرت درجه‌بندی شدند. سپس با کاربرد نرم‌افزار Ucinet 6.528 شاخص‌ها در سطوح کلان، میانی و خرد شبکه پیوندهای تبادل اطلاعات و مشارکت سازمانی محاسبه شدند. نتایج نشان داد تراکم شبکه‌های تبادل اطلاعات و مشارکت به ترتیب متوسط و کم بود در مقابل در هر دو پیوند شاخص‌های دوسویگی و انتقال‌یافتگی خیلی زیاد و زیاد ارزیابی شدند. شاخص میانگین فاصله ژئودزیک برای هر دو پیوند در محدوده بهینه قرار داشت که حاکی از سرعت مطلوب گردش اطلاعات و مشارکت در شبکه بود. همچنین در هر دو شبکه سازمان‌های سازمان‌های جهاد کشاورزی، منابع طبیعی، آب، تعاون روستایی، فرمانداری و امور عشایر به عنوان کنشگران اصلی و مرکزی و اداره محیط زیست، اداره هواشناسی، اداره تعاون، کار و رفاه اجتماعی، دانشگاه صنعتی خاتم الانبیاء بهبهان و ایستگاه کشاورزی بهبهان به عنوان کنشگران فرعی و پیرامونی شناسایی شدند. در سطح ذینفعان شبکه نیز به طور کلی فرمانداری با داشتن بیشترین مقدار مرکزیت‌ها از اقتدار و نفوذ بالایی برخوردار بوده و همچنین دارای بالاترین نقش کنترل‌گری و واسطه‌گری در شبکه می‌باشد.

چکیده [English]

The main problem in sustainable utilization of natural resources is understanding the complex situation and relationships of the various stakeholders involved in the implementation of projects. In this regard, social network analysis is one of the sociological approaches to investigate organizational relationship. In this study, the social network of information exchange and participation of eleven organizations involved in the management of natural resources of Behbahan county was examined. First questionnaires were distributed among the organizations and rated on a Likert scale based on the presence or absence of connection. Then, using the Ucinet 6.528 software, the indicators at the macro, intermediate and micro levels of the networks were calculated. The results showed that the density of information exchange and participation networks was medium and low, respectively, while in both links, the reciprocity and transitivity indices were evaluated as very high and high. The average geodesic distance index for both links was in the optimal range, indicating the desired speed of information circulation and participation in the network. Also, in both networks, the Agriculture Jihad, Natural Resources, Water, Rural Cooperatives, Governorate and Tribal Affairs organization were identified as the main and central actors, and the Environment, Meteorology, Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare organizations and Khatam Alanbia University of Technology, Behbahan, and Behbahan Agricultural research Station were identified as and peripheral actors. At the level of stakeholders ‘network, the governorate generally has high authority and influence with the highest amount of centrality and also has the highest role of control and mediation in the network.
